Biography
Scudboat was born in the Small Heath section of Birmingham, England, and he became involved with the local Peaky Blinders gang, becoming friends with Tommy Shelby and his brothers. He served alongside Tommy and John Shelby in the Small Heath Rifles of the British Army during World War I, fighting at St. Marie. After the war, he returned to Birmingham and worked as the bagman for the gang, working with bookkeeper John Shelby and protection Billy Lovelock. At one point, he was held at gunpoint by the Lee Brothers as they robbed the Shelby brothers' home, but he was left with only minor injuries. He later took part in the gang war with Billy Kimber, in which only Kimber and Daniel Owen were killed.
